Re: Re:

Boonen testing the opposition...

And what a test it was

Just enough to see who has the enthusiasm.

 

[GuyIncognito]

This might be the most open situation I've ever seen in a Roubaix. I have zero idea who's going to win.

 

[DFA123]

At what point will Sky start working for Rowe instead of Stannard? He's a significantly faster sprinter isn't he?

Re:

Ebh wheelsucker not a single pull... Hope he doesnt win

What race are you watching? He's done more than his share.

He's banged up due to crashes

 

[Brullnux]

Erviti ftw. That would be so awesome.

Not "significantly". He won a sprint stage of the Tour of Britain against weak opposition in 2011 or 12, and this last year has had a bit of a battle with Kristoff for winning the runners-up sprint in cobbled classics.

Vanmarcke?

Was it Stannard or Rowe, as well?

 

[JRanton]

Vanmarcke is going to win this.

Re: Re:

What's the deal with the Erviti support here, I don't even know the guy?

young up and coming classics rider,very talented lad

Young??

You need to turn your sarcasm-radar on

I got it when he said it. Nothing went over my head, my reaction looked a little more dopey than I intended.

 

[Brullnux]

Boonen is doing so much work.

He didn't win it by sprinting, though. Won it by being in front into the dangerous last corner where almost everyone crashed

Aha!

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Eriviti! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.................

 

[trevim]

Bonnen is smoother on the cobbles than I am on normal roads. Monster talent.

Lol! He never took a pull, hope you're joking...

 

[rm7]

[Cance > TheRest]

It will be interesting to see how much EBH has left for a sprint in a race this long and tough. Ideally he is by far the best sprinter in the group

 

[infeXio]

So now the Giant riders decide to ride? odd.

 

[kingjr]

Where are the guys who called SVM a wheelsucker last week?

 

[Billie]

Sieberg, Hayman, Erviti. A fight off between the most respected domestiques in the peloton.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boonen does not have the raw speed he used to have.
